A wide variety of achievements at Delmar, Herff Jones, and Lifetouch have positioned me as a knowledgeable, visionary, and inspiring business communicator, systems manager, and training project manager.I want to use my business analysis, project management, training, and communications skills to help drive a thread of clarity and continuity through an entire business process, to make it easier to do, and more beneficial for all. I see the forest and the trees. I believe in accurately defining and positioning training details within the overall value stream of a project or enterprise, to ensure the content makes as much sense in context as the entire entity does from high altitude. This "macro/micro" approach stems from my liberal arts background. I'm not just interested in what I do, but in how everything and everyone fit together for success. I'm skilled at business analysis, project management, preparing and delivering large and small presentations, creating workflow documentation and training curricula, training or managing small work groups and larger production teams, researching and developing materials and methods for production systems, software, training, and IT initiatives, mediating groups from multiple departments to facilitate agreeable pathways, developing networked workgroup database solutions, and training salespeople, operations and customer service staff, production workers, and photographers.My goal is to help as many people as possible to achieve *their* goals by learning and understanding their roles and how to play them. To reinforce that goal, I recently took seven courses, culminating in a Comprehensive Certificate in Project Management and Business Analysis at Charlotte's CPCC. I subsequently passed the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification exam on January 15, 2013.I'm a member of PMI, PMI Metrolina, and ASTD Charlotte, and attended many of their meetings and all-day events over the past year.Specialties: -My core leadership skills intersect communications with technology and the liberal arts. I'm equally comfortable directing production teams, managing creative database development projects, facilitating new product development, producing training documentation, and training groups of people at all levels. I'm at my best when leading cross-departmentally and cross-functionally, to link the right people and issues with the information they need to achieve creative, mutually beneficial solutions.
